Question 7 a) one million km. b) one Astronomical Unit. c) one light-year. d) ten parsecs. e) ten light-years. The absolute magnitude of a star is its brightness as seen from a distance of ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010
Question 7 a) one million km. b) one Astronomical Unit. c) one light-year. d) ten parsecs. e) ten light-years. The absolute magnitude of a star is its brightness as seen from a distance of Astronomers use a distance of 10 parsecs (about 32 light-years) as a standard for specifying and comparing the brightnesses of stars.
